Jason, Carter (a recent xfit convert), and I went to the d.t. Y to squat. Upon our arrival found that ALL the plates had been taken away in anticipation of replacements (didn't know plates would wear out...silly me). So we punted, and after a few sets of OH squats w/ bar only, did 3 rounds (15, 12, 9 reps each) of:
DB clean & press - 40lb. each hand, full squat clean to essentially a thruster. These sucked.
24" box jumps (after measuring the box, realized I've been over estimating jump height)
pull ups
The pull ups and the last round of box jumps were the only parts I was able to do straight through.

replace the plates???
Who takes all the plates away before they get new ones?
Wait.
Wow.
Apparently the plates were leased (duh!). So instead of investing in some basic steel plates that would last for ever, they'll probably get the latest style with some kind of handle or other doohicky to make the posers happy. Of course, they are also getting the latest isolation machines to get you sculped and pumped...
How 'bout an f-ing olympic lifting platform and some bumpers, dammit!!
